The Prevalence of Histologically Confirmed Endometriosis in Salpingectomy Specimens for Hydrosalpinx and Subsequent Reproductive Outcomes

Background

Hydrosalpinx, a fluid-filled blocked fallopian tube, is a major cause of infertility and is mainly linked to pelvic inflammatory disease. However, its connection to endometriosis, especially hidden tubal endometriosis without visible signs, is not well studied. This research aimed to find the prevalence of confirmed endometriosis in salpingectomy samples removed due to hydrosalpinx and to evaluate the subsequent reproductive outcomes.
